This draft's references do not show that the film meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for films. The draft requires either:

evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for films;

provide significant coverage: discuss the film in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the film, such as press releases, the studio's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Jane is a 2019 short film, written and directed by English actress Kathryn Prescott. It follows the titular character Jane, a heroin addict who is invited to her estranged daughter's birthday party.^[1]

Prescott conceived of the film after moving next door to a single room occupancy hotel in downtown Los Angeles. She aimed to portray a more realistic image of opiate addicts than is usually found in mainstream media, inspired by people she'd assisted while volunteering at a needle exchange.^[2]

The film premiered at the Austin Film Festival in 2019 and received positive reviews.^[3]

Plot

Jane, a struggling heroin addict living in a single room occupancy hotel, receives a voicemail from her estranged daughter's adoptive mother, inviting Jane to her child's fourth birthday party.
